PREFACE
This White Paper is a policy document used as a means of presenting
government policy preferences and it performs the dual role of presenting
governments policies while at the same time inviting opinions thereon.
White Paper is an explanatory guide through the maze of statistics and
budgetary estimates given in the complicated budget books. It aims at elaborating
governments policies and decisions that steer the budget formulation process. It
enables even a casual reader to understand various projections and budget
estimates.
The Executive Summary to the White Paper provides a brief overview of
economic environment that propelled policy decisions that translated into
budgetary targets. A chapter on Annual Development Programme presents
salient features of the development initiatives taken and to be undertaken or
continued in the next financial year. Various other Chapters have been included
detailing Estimates of Receipts & Expenditures, Public Account, Over view of
Fiscal Management Reforms, Debt & Contingent Liabilities, Local Revenue
Authority, and Local Government Finance.
Like all budget Documents, White Paper is the outcome of a team effort of
the officers and officials of the Finance Department. I acknowledge and
appreciate the pain stacking efforts of Mr. Furqan Ahmad, Composer, Mr. Socrat
Aman Rana, Deputy Secretary (Resources), Mr. Mahmood Hassan, Additional
Finance Secretary (Budget) and Mr. Ahmad Raza Sarwar, Special Secretary
Finance, in preparing the White Paper.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On the economic front, the country is facing many challenges mainly from power
shortages and terrorism that are not allowing the country to achieve its true economic potential.
Despite all these challenges, the national economy managed to grow by 4.14% during FY 2013-14.
The country also showed significant improvement on external front as the Foreign Exchange
Reserves reached a comfortable level while exchange rate remained stable.
Overall confidence on Pakistans economy is increasing in the international markets. The
Stock Exchange (KSE-100 index) which is considered a leading indicator of an economy,
increased by 46% in a short span from May 2013 to May 2014 it rose from 19,916 to 29,543
points. As a result of prudent fiscal and monetary measures taken by the Federal Government,
inflation came down to single digit during July May 2014 (8.26%) from the average of around
12% during the last five years.
Fiscal Deficit, which was 5.5% during Jul-Apr 2012-13, is reducing for the corresponding
period of this year. Tax-to-GDP ratio, however, remained 9.7% which is significantly lower than the
countries at similar development status. Although FBR registered a handsome growth of 16.4% in
revenue collection during 11 months of FY 2013-14, the collection target has been lowered from
Rs. 2,475 billion to Rs. 2,275 billion. The federal target for next year is Rs 2,810 billion, an
increase of 23.5% from the revised target.
Punjab largely depends on federal transfers from the divisible pool for its expenditure
plans. Any short fall in collection at the federal level has a direct impact on the revenue receipts of
the province. Such a situation requires expenditure controls and is detrimental to development
planning. The classical approach is of cautious financial management with an eye on cash
balance. The situation is compounded by the fact the provinces cannot borrow to meet deficits
which may arise in a situation of volatile revenue transfers. Despite these financial constraints,
Government of Punjab completed its priority development projects without any delay.
The Government of Punjab has ambitious plans for spurring economic growth, providing
quality public services, building infrastructure and protecting the vulnerable and marginalized of the
province. These objectives require revenue generation for meeting development and operational
expenses. Government of Punjab intends to generate revenue from provincial own resources
through better tax management, in particular plugging leakages, taxing untaxed areas and
rationalizing taxes in under taxed area. These measures would be complemented by tax payer

facilitation, reducing interface between the tax collector and the tax payer and promoting a culture
of tax payment and compliance. It also intends to recognize and encourage tax payers through
incentives and recognition. These revenue generation measures must be situated in the context of
income disparities and the incidence of poverty. Government of Punjab therefore believes in equity
and fair play in tax administration. Government of Punjabs tax reforms agenda is to implement an
efficient tax system with transitional losses and to bring the tax rates at reasonable level by under
taking broad based tax reforms and increasing the tax base rather than transferring further burden
on existing tax payers. E stamping, automation of properties through GIS mapping, elimination of
redundant taxes like Bed Tax etc. are some of the measures proposed for FY 2014-15.
Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA), created in July 2012, is primarily tasked to collect Sales
Tax on Services. The Authority has demonstrated promising potential of growth since its inception.
It continues to expand tax base with an aim to enter a negative tariff regime in the coming years.
More and more services are being brought into the tax net. The organization is building its capacity
so that it can expand coverage in the major urban centers in Punjab. Its organizational strength is
being further augmented through a range of subordinate legislation that will make PRA more
effective in increasing the provincial own source revenues. Apart from PRA, government is also
focused on improving the tax collection of Excise & Taxation Department and Board of Revenue.
Without much addition in new taxes, both the organisations have planned to improve their
collection by plugging the leakages through automation and computerization of their tax collection
regimes. In case of non-tax levies, the existing rates which were levied more than five years ago,
have been revised upwards. However, adequate safeguards have been placed for economically
vulnerable.
Finance Act 2014 further brings a number of changes in the existing regimes of revenue
collection. It provides for imposition of luxury tax on palatial houses and luxury vehicles. A number
of changes have been incorporated in Punjab Sales Tax on Services to rationalize and bring
harmony in the existing Sales Tax regime. A separate legislation is also being introduced to impose
Punjab Infrastructure Development Cess. This tax will be levied on goods destined for export or
imported and passing through the limits of the province of Punjab.
On the expenditure side, Punjab Government remains fully committed to curtailing
avoidable expenditures and to allocate more resources for health and education & infrastructure.
Current Revenue allocations in FY 2014-15 for Health & Education have been increased
significantly.
Punjabs Development Budget has been formulated to trigger economic growth which
would achieve the target of 8% by 2017-18. It focuses on growth that is sustainable and has the
capacity to transform the socio-economic status of its citizens. The Development Budget is geared
towards creating jobs and generating private investment. The poor and vulnerable of a society
often do not benefit from the growth and investments. This segment needs special attention and

hand holding to protect and help them participate in social and economic life. Government of
Punjab invests in social protection and welfare for such members of the communities. A number of
pro-poor initiatives such as the Punjab Education Endowment Fund, subsidy on public transport
and agriculture inputs, provision of free text books and stipends to girl students, availability of
sufficient free medicines in hospitals and many other such interventions have been planned and
adequately budgeted in the next financial year.
Energy shortage has plagued the economy and hampers it from realizing its full potential.
It has not only stinted the growth of economy, but has also brought miseries for ordinary citizens
who are unable to continue livelihoods and businesses. Government of Punjab has taken a number
of initiatives to combat the energy crises. The establishment of Quaid-e-Azam Solar Park in
Cholistan Bahawapur is a reflection of the resolve of the government to deal with power crises.
Earmarking of sites for coal fired power plants in the province and exploitation of indigenous fuels
such as biomass and biogas are part of Government of Punjabs priorities. Development budget
2014-15 includes a sizable allocation for energy related projects.
In recent times, Pension Management has remained a center of focus not only among the
developed countries but also for developing countries. Punjab is the largest province of the country
having approximately one million employees and 436,995 pensioners. In conformity with the global
trend, Government of Punjab initiated a number of pension reforms in last few years. A dedicated
corporate entity, Punjab Pension Fund has been established through enactment by Punjab
Provincial Assembly to enhance the Fund size to meet the liabilities of Pension through prudent
investments. Further, Government has also taken various measures for facilitating pensioners in
pension disbursement.
Despite limited resources and severe economic crises, Government of Punjab through
better administrative and fiscal management has managed to keep its debt at manageable level.
Government of Punjab has a small debt liability compared to size of Gross Regional Product of the
province. At end of June-2014, the Punjabs total debt was Rs. 452 billion, or 3.52% of provinces
economy.
Another window of opportunity is the interest of private sector in building public private
partnership through which not only would the private sector would accrue profits but efficiency gain
would be achieved through leveraging of public assets and investments too. Government of Punjab
is keenly looking to work in cooperation with private sector to utilize the provinces resources more
efficiently.

million for the FY 2014-15 as compared to Rs. 919,314.576 million for BE 2013-14. The increase in
estimates of General Revenue Receipts for FY 2014-15 is mainly attributable to expected increase

compared to budget estimate of Rs. 702,120.646 million in FY 2013-14, assuming a growth in tax
collection of FBR by 23.5% from the RE 2013-14. Budgetary Estimates of Provincial Tax Receipts
for FY 2014-15 have been fixed at Rs. 164,680.244 million in comparison with Revised Estimates

As depicted in Table above, the General Revenue Receipts for FY 2013-14 were
estimated at Rs. 871,953.317 million, which subsequently decreased by Rs. 26,784.140 million on
account of 8.7% less receipts of Federal Divisible Pool Taxes from the anticipated amount of tax
collection by FBR. However, for FY 2014-15, the estimates of General Revenue Receipts have
been pitched at Rs. 1,033,073.219 million. This increase is projected on the basis of FBR collection
estimates of Rs.2,810 billion during FY 2014-15.
It is evident from the above table that major source of revenue for the Provincial
Government is Federal Divisible Pool share receipt in lieu of the Federal Transfers. This is primarily
because of the structure of fiscal federalism which allocates almost all buoyant taxes such as
income tax, sales tax on goods, customs and excise duties to the Federation.
Figure below reflects the share of components of the General Revenue Receipts:
Figure 1.2
General Revenue Receipts BE 2014-15
Heavy dependence on Divisible Pool Transfers implies that in case of a small (say 5%)
shortfall in FBR revenue collection, the provincial government has to make major adjustments in its
expenditures.
Figure further provides a comparison of budget estimates of different components of
General Revenue Receipts for FY 2013-14 and 2014-15.

The above table shows that tax collection by the government during FY 2014-15 is
pitched at Rs.164,680.244 million as compared to RE 2013-14 of Rs.111,788.994 million. In this
way government expects to increase its tax collection by 47% from the Revised Estimates. The
government has however taken necessary steps including expansion in scope of different taxes
and improving collection efficiency with measures like e-stamping, automation of property tax
record through GIS mapping of properties, plugging of revenue leakages and simplification of
procedures.
The shortfall seen in the revised estimates for FY 2013-14 as against the Budgetary
Estimates for FY 2013-14 can be attributed to shortfall in Board of Revenue with respect to AIT
which remained less than 143% from the BE 2013-14. The same was the case with respect to
Stamp Duty collection which remained 5.4% less than BE 2013-14. It is hoped that with the
implementation of E-Stamping the Board of Revenue would be able to give a growth of 28.8% in
Stamp Duty collection. The UIPT collection remained 36.6% less than the budgetary estimates
however, with the new valuation tables coming into force in the next financial year, the same would
be augmented by 13.7% from the last year. The Sales Tax on Services is clearly indicating that it
will in future make unprecedented achievements increasing revenue income of the province.
However, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped from this tax by extending its base and
increasing efficiency of collection. At present the tax is being collected from 37 different categories
of services. The government intends to include 10 more services in the next financial year in a bid
to realize the full potential of this tax. The government in order to plug compliance gap arising out
of the diversified interpretation of the service tax tariff has further rationalized the description so
that tax evasion could be minimized.

A. Provincial Tax Receipts Collected By Board of Revenue

The following pie chart shows the composition of taxes collected by Board of Revenue as
estimated for FY 2014-15.
Figure 1.4
Board of Revenue Taxes BE 2014-15
Board of Revenue has been assigned collection of Agriculture Income Tax, Registration
Duty, Land Revenue, Capital Value Tax & Stamp Duty. Its contribution in the overall tax receipts of
Province is projected to increase from Rs.37,918.950 million for FY 2013-14 to Rs. 39,789.784
million in FY 2014-15. The following measures are underway for increased resource mobilization
efforts by BOR:
Computerization of land records by December 2014

Introduction of e-Stamping by December 2014 (Creation of PMU ADP Allocation of
Rs. 375 million)
Enhanced monitoring and audit
Rationalization of District Collectors Table by 30th June, 2014
Rationalization of Stamp Duty from 2% to 3%
Flat rate for Registration Fee (from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1000 as per pecuniary ceiling)
For the purpose of clarity the major tax heads under BORs preview are elaborated upon
as follows:
a) Agricultural Income Tax
Agricultural Income Tax (AIT) is an important direct tax available to provinces. AIT Act
was promulgated in 1997. It envisaged payment of fixed amount per acre of land. Major
amendments were introduced to this Act in 2001 and whereby holders of 25 acre irrigated land
(equivalent to 50 acre un-irrigated land) were required to submit their AIT return. The income mode
of the tax was, however, not practically implemented due to capacity related issues of the
collectors in the field. The collection of tax, however, continued in the fixed mode and owing to the
sub-division of land over-time into smaller holdings, and exemption to owners of up to 12.5 acres,
the collection from this tax has been declining in recent times.
b) Land Revenue
Land Revenue is a broad category, and includes a number of receipts related to Land
Revenue functions. This category of Provincial Tax Receipt has a lot of potential and it is expected
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
Chapter 1 Estimates of Receippts
to contributee Rs. 11,788.6682 million to thhe provincial exxchequer for FY

Y 2014-15. Duuring the last feew
years, Goveernment has tried to tap buoyyancy of this soource by introdducing structuraal reforms whicch
included inttroduction of valuation
v
table to rural areass for the purppose of mutatioon. Government
intends to complete
c
the automation
a
of laand revenue reecord under a foreign fundedd project nameed
Land Record Managemennt Information System, at thhe earliest. Coomplete automaation is likely to
enhance buuoyancy of this tax even furtheer.
c) Stamp Duty
Thhe increase in the
t BE 2014-155 can be attribuuted to revisionn of valuation ttables/DC tablees
annually to reduce the gap between the value of propeerty assessed by the DC tablles & the markket
value of prooperties. Goverrnment is considering introdu ction of furtherr reforms includding introductioon
of e-stamping to land trannsactions to pluug leakages in this tax and too ensure greatter transparenccy
in the proceess of transfer of
o property.
Fuurther, since the private houssing societies are not obliged to encourage registration of
transfer deeeds, therefore, the one perceent levy as regiistration fee haas been disconntinued in favour
of a flat rate of Rs. 500 (for property upto Rs. 500,,000/-), Rs. 1,000/- (for propperty exceedinng
Rs.500,000/-) and a one percent
p
enhanccement in the sstamp duty ratee has been maade in the stam
mp
duty.
Keeeping in view the inflationaryy impact the raates of stamp ppapers for affidavit, agreemennt,
cancellationn, contract deeed, divorce, partnership, deeclaration and revocation of trust has beeen
enhanced after
a 20 years.
Thhe Budget Estim
mates of Stampp Duty for FY 22014-15 has bbeen pitched att Rs. 18,937.2662
million whicch is 28.8% higher than the BE
E 2013-14 on aaccount of introoduction of e-sstamping.

White Paper
Budget 2014-15

a)
Urban Immoveable Property Tax (UIPT)
The UIPT is essentially a devolved tax, but for administrative convenience it is being
collected by the Provincial Government and passed on to the respective TMAs as per the agreed
distribution. The UIPT for FY 2014-15 stands at Rs. 7,750.000 million which is 6.8% higher than BE
2013-14.
The government has completed automation of property tax record through GIS mapping
of properties in five major districts. The revised valuation tables with a 50% enhancement in rental
rates and a further reduction in UIPT rates to 5% would be enforceable in FY 2014-15. This would
not only improve the under-taxation of properties but would be beneficial in documenting occupied
excess properties.
The tax demand would be facilitated through a property tax calculator whereby tax-payers
would be able to generate their own UIPT demand and avoid interface with the tax collectors. In
view of the above measures, the proceeds of this tax are likely to undergo a significant increase.
b)
Tax on Luxury and Palatial Houses
In order to tax luxurious lifestyle the government has levied a tax on luxurious and palatial
houses from the owners, occupant or transferee of a residential house notified areas.
c)
Professional Tax
The B.E for FY2014-15 with respect to professional tax have been pitched at Rs. 583.359
million. The contribution of professional Tax is not huge, but being a direct tax, it has good potential
in the long term.
C. Provincial Tax Receipts collected by Punjab Revenue Authority

PRA has already developed a complete system for real time monitoring of transactions in
food sector services. PRA will soon apply a scheme of Restaurant Invoice Monitoring System
(RIMS). In order to effectively manage the operational side of revenue automation in the province
of Punjab, the government has allowed PRA to establish Punjab Government Revenue Automation
Limited (PGRAL) on the analogy of Pakistan Revenue Automation Limited (PRAL). PGRAL will
work in close collaboration with Punjab Information Technology Board and undertake rigorous
programs for process-reengineering and automation of other provincial taxes before their regular
transfer to PRA. PRA has already finalized the enforcement rules and reward rules.
After commencement of VAT-like sales tax on hotels, continuation of bed tax remains no
more justified. Bed tax is therefore, being abolished. However, sales tax threshold exemptions on
hotels are being reviewed so as to enlarge the outreach of sales tax and broadening of sales tax
base. This will also help promote economic documentation of hotels sector in the province.
Ten new services have been incorporated in the sales tax net. Most of these services
were either being partially taxed as part and parcel of taxable services of other business domains
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
11
or were failing to discharge tax liabilities in respect of the taxable component of their main business
activities. Inclusion of these new services will also further bring equity in the Punjab sales tax base
and also harmonize the service tax system of Punjab with other provinces.
In view of the above, the budgetary estimates 2014-15 for PRA has been pitched at
Rs.95,000.000 million as against Rs. 62,350.000 million for FY 2013-14 which is 52.4% higher than
last year owing to the still untapped potential in the sales tax net.
II.
Non-Tax Revenue
Non-Tax Receipts accrue mainly on account of regulatory functions performed by the

Provincial Government and rates and fees charged for the provision of certain social and economic
services and also include Federal Grants and Straight Transfers received from Federal
Government. Table summarises the Revised Estimates for FY 2013-14 as against the initial BE for
FY 2013-14. The BE for FY 2014-15 has been affixed at Rs. 38,180.368 million.

A.
Non Tax Revenue Income from Property and Enterprises
From the table above, it is clear that this component of the non-tax revenue is an
important part of Non-Tax Revenue for the province.
The Income from property and enterprises comprises of two components.
Net hydel profit
Income from interest on loans advanced to financial institutions, local governments,

autonomous bodies and government servants etc.
a. Net Hydel Profit to Punjab Government

The background of the issue is that Punjab had not been receiving net hydel profits from
the Federal Government since 1996-97. Punjab Government is now requesting the
Federal Government to resolve the issue of payment of arrears of net hydel profit to
Punjab since 2004-05 onwards in addition to regular payment of net hydel profit accruing
every year. In order to have a claim over Federal Government of net hydel profit an
allocation of Rs.21,000.000 million has been made in BE 2014-15.
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
13
b. Interest on loans
Punjab Government extends loans to local governments, financial institutions and
autonomous bodies under its purview for meeting their current and development
expenditures. The interest from these loans is another important part of receipts of
Income from Property and Enterprises. Interest amounting to Rs. 366.844 million was
received during FY 2013-14 and the interest income for FY 2014-15 has been pitched at
Rs. 361.469 million. It may be pertinent to mention here that after the issuance of right
shares against subscription money of Rs. 10,000.000 million by Bank of Punjab the
interest payments to Government of Punjab would not be available in FY 2014-15. Hence,
the interest income during next financial year is expected to be considerably lower than
FY 2013-14.
Figure 1.7
Income from Property and Enterprises BE 2014-15
B.
Non Tax Revenue Civil Administration & Other Functions
These receipts generally accrue from the regulatory and administrative functions of the
Government and pension contribution on behalf of provincial civil servants working in autonomous
bodies etc. Government is expected to collect Rs. 8,759.188 million during FY 2014-15 from these
sources of revenue. A break-up of these receipts is graphically elaborated below:
Figure 1.8
Civil Administration and other Functions BE 2013-14 vs. BE 2014-15
White Paper
Budget 2014-15

a) Law and Order

There are 3 main components of law & order receipts: 1) Receipts: - namely Receipts collected by Law Department on sale proceeds of
unclaimed and escheated property, court fees realised in cash, General fee,
fines & forfeitures, receipt of official record room & recoveries of overpayments
etc.
2) Receipts collected by Home Department: - include sale proceeds of articles
manufactured in jail, fines, overpayments on services rendered includes supplies
made by factory department to maintenance department in jail.
3)
Receipts collected by Police Department on account of police personnel

provided to Railway, Fed. Govt., Public departments, fees, fines, forfeiture, motor
driving license fee, traffic fines, police land receipts and recoveries of
overpayments.
The collection of police department in FY 2014-15 is expected to be around Rs. 3,703.585

million, which is 20.4% higher than last FY 2013-14 and thus the total law & order receipts
are estimated at Rs. 4,114.925 million.
The following pie chart is given below to further elaborate the contributions made by the
above mentioned heads of receipts in the total Law & Order receipts status:
Figure 1.9
Law and Order BE 2014-15
b) Community Services
The major source of income in this classification are receipts accruing from toll collection
on provincial roads and bridges and through rent of Government buildings. The toll collection is
expected to grow due to revision of toll tax rates. Moreover, with the inclusion of newly constructed
provincial roads, the receipts with respect to toll on Roads & Bridges would substantially increase
in FY 2014-15.
Figure below elaborates the break-up percentage contribution of each component of the
total community service receipts estimated for FY 2014-15.
White Paper
Budget 2014-15

Figure 1.10
Community Services BE 2014-15
c) Social Services
These receipts include general administration receipts realized through different economic
regulations, examination fee realized by Punjab Public Service Commission, receipts and revenues
under regulations on weights and measures, trades etc. The BE for FY 2014-15 has been set at
Rs.1,711.637 million which is 12.2% higher than the BE 2013-14.
Figure 1.11

C.
Non Tax Revenue Miscellaneous Receipts
Under the receipts from economic functions, revenue on account of Abiana (water rate for
irrigation), receipts from renting out of agricultural machinery / equipment, sale of forest timber etc.
are included. In the general category, other receipts such as small fees / charges on account of
regulatory functions of the Government are included. Similarly, major receipts such as those
accruing from arms licence fee and royalty from mines and minerals are also included under this
classification as show in the following pie chart.
Figure 1.12
Miscellaneous Receipts BE 2014-15
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
16
Under Miscellaneous Receipts, the important constituents include receipts from Forest,
Wildlife & Fisheries, Irrigation and Mines & Minerals. The budgetary estimates for FY 2014-15 has
been pitched at Rs. 34,076.711 million which is 14% higher than the BE 2013-14.
Another significant non-tax potential is that of Punjab Privatization Board. BE 2014-15 of
Rs.2,576.629 million has been set that includes an estimate of Rs. 2,000.000 million through sale of
properties by Punjab Privatization Board.
a) Straight Transfers

provinces include:
i)
The net proceeds of the Federal excise duty on natural gas
ii)
Net proceeds of royalty on crude oil and natural gas assigned to the provinces
under the Constitution.
Straight Transfers are reflected under the non-tax provincial receipts, yet for the purpose
of clarity, the same have been shown separately under the Federal Transfers in this chapter. The
Budget Estimates for FY 2014-15 have been pitched at Rs. 8,589.982 million against
Rs. 6,606.242 million for BE2013-14.
Figure 1.13
Composition of Straight Transfers BE 2014-15
b) Federal Grants
Federal Grants, both Development and Non Development, comprise of public sector
development programs (PSDP), grants from federal government as well as budget support grants
received from foreign development partners. The federal PSDP grants are only pass through items.
These grants are released to executing agencies for implementation of Federal Development
Projects. Therefore, the estimates of PSDP grants are only made part of the revised estimates.
The RE for FY 2013-14 for PSDP grants is Rs.39,447.769 million against budget estimates of
Rs.3,231.145 million.

b) Permanent Debt - Account No. I

Direct debt and loans borrowed from or through the Federal Government i.e. domestic
and foreign loans comprise the permanent debt of the provincial government. B.E. 2014-15 for the
permanent debt (foreign) has been estimated at Rs. 21,839.834 million. The Government received
budgetary support loan from World Bank under Punjab Health Sector Reforms Program, Education
Sector Reform Program, Large Cities Project and Governance Reforms for Service Delivery
Project from the World Bank.
c) Public Debt Account No. II (Food Account)
Account No.II, like Account No.I, is also maintained with the State Bank of Pakistan. The
distinction, however, is that this account is meant exclusively for transactions relating to state
trading in food commodities by the Food Department. Finances for food commodity purchases are
raised through what is known as Cash Credit Accommodation. This is currently being carried out
through a consortium of banks organised with the assistance of the Bank of Punjab. Under this
arrangement, wheat grain is procured directly from farmers by the Food Department, and financed
by the banking consortium. Receipts from the sale of wheat are then deposited in Account No. II,
from where they are utilised to retire the consortium loan.
1.2.2
Development Capital Receipts (Foreign Projects Assistance)

loans borrowed from multilateral donor agencies through the Federal Government for specific
foreign-assisted development projects. The Budget Estimates for FY 2014-15 for Foreign Project
Assistance are pitched at Rs. 37,712.420 million compared to Budget Estimates 2013-14 of

ESTIMATES OF EXPENDITURE
OVERVIEW OF EXPENDITURE
The Punjab Government in the past few years has shown great commitment towards
service delivery through asset creation. It was befitting thus that a simultaneous strategy to
consolidate these assets was under taken timely. The Government, therefore, is tuned to
consolidate its assets and leverage them to gain efficiencies. With this view enhanced allocation
have been made in the Current Budget so that the infrastructure created through Development
Budget is optimally and efficiently leveraged to gain value for money. The Budget 2014-15 has
placed more resources in the service delivery areas, whereby, a common citizen would be able to
benefit from better roads, functional hospitals, thriving schools and all other amenities of public
use. The Annual Development Programme is 33% of the total outlay.
2.1
PROVINCIAL BUDGETARY FRAMEWORK
The budgetary framework broadly represents the total receipts of Provincial Government,
which comprises Federal Transfers and Provincial Own Receipts, and Total Expenditure. After
accommodating the demands of current revenue expenditure and current capital expenditure, the
net surplus is available for financing the Development Expenditure, which is also financed directly
through foreign aided projects. The framework of provincial budget is depicted below at Figure 2.1.

suspense accounts will be positive or negative depends entirely on whether misclassification in
respect of receipts has been more than in respect of expenditure and vice versa. Therefore, for

Chapter 4
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2013-14

&
ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2014-15
The mandate of any Government is to produce maximum public goods utilizing the
resources generated by its revenue collection system. The public goods can either be produced
using Governments existing capacity of service delivery or by enhancing its capacity to provide
these services. Therefore, each year a key decision for the Government in budget making is to
decide the distribution of estimated resources for next financial year between (i) service delivery
through existing capacity known as current expenditure of the Government; and (ii) initiatives to
enhance Governments capacity to deliver public goods known as development expenditure or
Annual Development Programme (ADP). Resources allocated for ADP are divided among different
sectors on the basis of their importance in the light of policies of the Government. In this way, ADP
is an important instrument to expand provision of service delivery and to accelerate economic
growth in the province.
The Development Programme 2014-15 is guided by the Chief Minister and his Cabinets
overarching vision for a secure, economically vibrant, industrialized and knowledge-based
Province, which is prosperous and competitive wherein every citizen enjoys high quality life.
Annual Development Programme 2014-15 is anchored in Punjabs Medium Term
Inclusive Growth Strategy. It represents the first year of Medium Term Development Framework
(MTDF) that supports the growth strategy, a rolling plan providing development estimates for a
three years period i.e. base year and the following two years. The main objectives of the Annual
Development Programme 2014-15 would be:
White Paper
Overcoming energy shortage

Export oriented industrial cum agricultural growth
Enhance productivity and competitiveness in the production sector
Development of human capital and skills
Equitable regional development
Institutional reforms and governance
Encourage public private partnership
Budget 2014-15
42
Gender mainstreaming
Effective security through better law & orders
At the same time, it must be mentioned that, in the first year of MTDF, it would not be
possible to include schemes in ADP only on the basis of the economic growth strategy as such an
approach would have left a number of ongoing schemes unfunded and wasted a large amount of
investment already made on the ongoing schemes. Therefore, some fiscal space has been given
to ensure that no wastage of public resources takes place and minimum compromise is made on
achieving economic growth objectives of the Province.
The size of Development Programme 2014-15 is pitched at Rs.345 billion which includes
Rs.290 billion for regular development programme and Rs.40 billion for other development
initiatives and Rs.15 billion for special initiatives. The important features and new initiatives
included in ADP 2014-15 are as follows:
Focus on completion of ongoing schemes allocation of Rs.155 billion
Regional balance in allocation of resources with extra weight (36%) for 11 districts of
Southern Punjab
Adequate funding for foreign aided and mega projects
Continued focus on undertaking projects that can be completed within one / two
years to control throw forward
Allocation of Rs.119 billion for social sectors investments with major focus on
education (Rs.48 billion) and health (Rs.31 billion)
Continued strategic interventions in large cities to realize their potential as engines of
growth. Allocation of Rs.40.4 billion for Urban Development Sector including
allocation of Rs.10 billion each for Mass Transit System for Rawalpindi and Multan.

In the following paragraphs, performance of ADP for fiscal year ending 30th June 2014
have been discussed along with the proposed allocations for ADP for FY 2014-15. The size of the
provincial ADP was originally fixed at Rs.290 billion. Although resource availability for funding the
development budget improved during 2013-14 however, it fell short of projections made at the time
of formulation of budget estimates for FY 2013-14 leading to downward revision of Development
Program to the extent of Rs.224 billion.
For execution of development schemes, funds were released in four quarterly
installments during FY 2013-14. As per utilization status of development program during 11
months of FY 2013-14, an expenditure of Rs.162 billion has been reported against a release
of Rs.208 billion till end May, 2014. Based on this utilization trend, it is expected that by the
end of 2013-14 utilization will be approximately Rs.195 billion indicating a significant
improvement in the overall development expenditure.
The historical trend of the last seven years revised ADP allocation and utilization is given in the
following graph:
White Paper
Budget 2014-15

Figure 4.1
Trend of ADP Allocation (Revised) and Utilization
2007-08 to 2013-14
During the year 2013-14, a total of 3584 schemes were implemented which include 1179
ongoing and 2405 new schemes during the year. Out of these 3584 schemes, 760 schemes were
completed during the year which represent almost 21% completion rate. Amongst the completed
schemes 634 were ongoing schemes from the previous years.
Sector-wise breakup of 760 completed schemes is depicted in the following pie-chart:
Figure 4.2
Schemes Completed during 2013-14
White Paper

Like the previous year, concrete efforts were made to minimize the throwforward of
ongoing ADP Schemes by weeding out unfeasible and slow moving schemes. Full funds were
provided to schemes with the completion target during FY 2013-14, particularly during the last
quarter. Provision of token allocation for new schemes has been discouraged. These interventions
have helped clean up current ADP portfolio and curtail the throwforward. However, due to initiation
of new projects under District Development Package / SPDP and funding of new schemes through
supplementary grants, throwforward is expected to increase from Rs.278 billion in 2013-14 to
Rs.366 billion in 2014-15. Still the throwforward to development budget ratio will decrease in FY
2014-15 compared to FY 2013-14.
The historical trend of revised core allocation and throwforward during the last 7 years is
given in the following graph:
Figure 4.3
Trend of ADP Allocation (Revised) and Throwforward
2007-08 to 2013-14
During the year, a special effort has been made to remove regional disparities by
providing equal opportunities of growth to less developed areas of Punjab including Southern
Punjab, Cholistan and the Barani areas. This includes enhanced flow of development resources
and sustainability of development momentum in the less privileged areas, creation of job
opportunities and mitigation of poverty of low income groups. The strategy includes increasing the
overall development allocation of 11 Districts of Southern Punjab from Rs.25.7 billion in 2008-09 to
Rs.93 billion in 2013-14 and launching of new south focused special development programs.
During 2013-14, a three year development programme has been initiated for uplift of Southern
Punjab. Under this programme 91 projects costing about Rs.19.0 billion have been started to
improve socio-economic conditions of these districts. These schemes pertain to Road, Health,
Water Supply & Sanitation, Education, Technical Education, Emergency and Irrigation sectors.
Another programme Punjab Economic Opportunities Programme (PEOP) funded jointly by
Government of Punjab & United Kingdoms Department for International Development (DFID) was
initiated in the districts of Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Lodhran and Muzaffargarh during 2010-11.
Under this programme, 54,057 youth including 21,123 female trainees have been provided training
in various skills. This training has been provided by engaging private / public training providers
including technical training institutions and NGOs through a transparent process. This initiative has
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
47
not only been instrumental in creating employment opportunities for poorest segments of the
project area but has also helped in developing the capacity and interest of private sector training
providers in Southern Punjab in particular and rest of the province in general. In addition, focus of
skill development strategy on funding of trainees marks a departure from the traditional approach
of investing in brick and mortar adopted by the public sector in the past.
International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) has joined the efforts of
Government of the Punjab for maintaining regional balance and poverty alleviation by launching a
new project Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project in the districts of Bahawalnagar,
Bahawalpur, Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur. The programme having a total outlay of Rs.4.1 billion will
provide support to 80,000 poorest of the poor families through asset creation, vocational training,
community projects and productivity enhancement in Agriculture and Livestock sectors. All these
interventions have been / will be helpful in removing regional disparities and increasing
employment / income generation opportunities for the poorest segments of the Punjabs
population.

Considering the success of Chief Ministers Health Initiative for attainment of MDGs
efforts were made for provision of 24/7 Emergency Obstetrics & Newborn Care (EmONC) services
at selected RHCs of flood affected areas in Bhakkar, Mianwali, R.Y. Khan, Layyah, D.G. Khan,
Muzaffargarh and Rajanpur. Government of the Punjab has decided to replicate the model
throughout the province in a phased manner starting from 2013-14. During 2013-14, 16 districts
having poor health indicators were selected for implementation of EmONC services which will be
extended in remaining districts of the province during 2014-16.
Government of the Punjab has also made efforts to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition
among children, pregnant and lactating women. The preventive nutrition interventions are being
proposed in 2014-15 for all 36 districts. The problem of acute malnutrition is being addressed by
providing iron-folic acid tablets, zinc sulphate supplements, fortification of salt iodization,
distribution of Multi micro-nutrient powder sachet and vitamin supplements for 12 priority districts
and urban peripheries of 9 large districts of Punjab during 2014-15. Subsequently, phased
extension is being proposed in the remaining districts of the province.
Government of the Punjab has taken initiative to establish state of the art hospitals like
Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute and Cancer Hospital at Lahore during 2014-15. Moreover,
Purchase of Mobile Health Units is also being proposed in 2014-15 to provide health care facilities

In order to ensure quality of health care delivery in public and private sector, Punjab
Health Care Commission has been established. Detailed technical spadework has been completed
with technical assistance from DFID. Minimum service delivery standards for Tertiary Care
Hospitals, licensing protocols and governance mechanism have been developed. Health Care
Commission has hired its management team for starting the actual work of licensing and regulating
public and private health facilities in the province. Health sector strategy developed through a
consultative process has been approved by the Chief Minister. The strategy addresses all major
issues in health sector and suggests solutions. Reorientation of primary health care will be focused
under this strategy. World Bank & DFID have expressed interest to provide support in
implementation of strategy through Punjab Health Sector Reform Programme. An agreement has
been signed by Government of the Punjab with DFID whereby DFID has agreed to provide a grant

Programme. Schemes titled Population welfare program with an allocation of Rs.500.000 million,
PMDGP / PHSRP WB, DFID Sponsored with an allocation of Rs.2,000 million and Health
Insurance Card in four Pilot Districts with an allocation of Rs.4,000 million were included in the
development programme 2013-14.
Water Supply & Sanitation

Government of Punjab has undertaken a number of initiatives to accelerate the provision
of safe drinking water and to improve sanitation facilities for the entire population of the province
recognizing the fundamental human need and basic human right. Southern Punjab has been
specially focused for provision of clean water and sanitation facilities to improve the condition and
quality of life of general public particularly in rural areas. Government of Punjab is also committed
to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to extend access to improved water and basic
sanitation.
Sanitation
To accomplish the cherished goal of a clean Punjab, the sanitation component is being
sharply focused. Pakistan Approach to Total Sanitation (PATS) would be given priority through
initiatives to eradicate the menace of Open Defecation which in turn would be a great step in the
preventive health care programme. A sustained programme to address this problem would enable
Punjab to achieve the objective of Open Defecation free Province. In addition to these steps, new
initiatives regarding elimination of ponds from major villages and solid waste management in rural
areas would be implemented through LG&CD Department to improve the sanitation indicators.
To achieve these targets, substantial resources are being provided to the sector by
allocating Rs.17,118 million for the financial year 2014-15 as compared to the allocation of
Rs.10,868 million in 2013-14.
In financial year 2013-14, 274 schemes were implemented which included 145 on-going
schemes and 129 new schemes. Out of these 274 schemes, 132 were completed which represent
almost 48% completion.
Annual Development Programme 2014-15 for water supply & sanitation has been
formulated with an effort to minimize throw forward of on-going schemes by allocating maximum
resources to the on-going schemes. Rs.11,590 million have been allocated to the ongoing
schemes which is 68% of total size.
Main objectives of Annual Development Programme 2014-15 are: Ensuring water quality through provision of water filtration plants.

Quality assurance through third party validation.
Social Protection
During FY 2013-14, an allocation of Rs.1302 million was allocated to this sector. During
2013-14, Social welfare Department established children home at Faisalabad for rehabilitation of
destitute and neglected children with the purpose to make them productive citizens of society. In
order to provide facility to the old people, a separate building for old age home at Lahore has been
established. The residents of this institute are provided free shelter, food, treatment and recreational
facilities. In the next financial year 2014-15, Rs.900 million has been allocated to the Social Protection
Sector. District Industrial Home would be established in the newly established districts of Chiniot &
Nankana Sahib. For socio economic empowerment of native women, the Government of Punjab
would establish Mini Sanatzars at Rajanpur, Sargodha and Sheikhupura. Qasar-e-Behbood would be
established at Faisalabad and Muzaffargarh which will not only provide quality training in different
demand driven skills but would also arrange work orders for women passing out from these centers.
In order to impart training in marketable skills to the poorest of the poor (Mustehqeen-ezakat), PVTC has established 175 VTIs throughout Punjab and producing approximately 50,000
trainees per annum and catering the needs of technical manpower required both in public & private
sectors. In the next financial year 2014-15, Rs.1,000 million would be provided to PVTC to enhance
their training capacity from existing 53,400 to 58,400 trainees.
The Women Development Department has established working women hostels in various
districts of Punjab to cater the need of residence for working women. The objective behind the
establishment of these hostels is to facilitate the working women so that they may perform their duties
diligently and efficiently. Under the Punjab Women Empowerment Package 2014, two new schemes
have been included. First, the voucher scheme for working women for hostel services has been
included in 2014-15 to provide affordable accommodations to low income salaried working women.
The second scheme relates to initiative for support to working women in the field of skill development,
women entrepreneurship, rozgar bank, etc. Toll free women's helpline to provide information about
laws relating to women inheritance rights, violence against women, employment, policies,
mechanisms and services to both women and men would be started. The Department is also
establishing Day Care Centers in collaboration with NGOs, NPOs in different districts of Punjab to
facilitate the working women to make their workplaces women friendly.

Regional Planning
The process of development in Punjab has been somewhat skewed in its impact across
the regions. Less developed regions of Punjab comprising barani tracts, sandy deserts of
Cholistan, Tribal areas of D.G. Khan and Rajanpur and 11 districts of Southern Punjab have not
kept pace with the rest of the province in terms of development and economic progress. With
scanty rainfall, these ecological zones face the challenges of acute shortage of water, mostly small
land holdings and primitive agriculture techniques. Government assigns high priority to the removal
of regional disparities in the Province. This objective is being achieved through direct investment in
less developed areas to enhance rural household incomes and employment opportunities,
improving infrastructure and providing financial support to enhance production and skill
development of the target groups through participatory approach.
DFID assisted Punjab Economic Opportunities Programme (PEOP) initiated in 2010-11in
districts of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Lodhran and Muzaffargarh has now been extended to 10
more districts i.e. Lahore, Sheikhupura, Faisalabad, Chiniot, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Narowal,
Vehari, Khenewal and R.Y. Khan. Under this programme, 54,057 youth including 21,123 female
trainees have been provided skills training. International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD)
has joined the efforts of Government of the Punjab for maintaining the regional balance and
poverty alleviation by launching a project Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project (SPPAP) in
2011-12 in the districts of Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Rajanpur and Muzaffargarh having a total
cost of Rs.4,126 million. During the current FY around 10,000 families have been provided assets
creation package in the shape of provision of Livestock animals, land to landless widows and clean
drinking facilities to masses. In the next financial year 40,000 beneficiaries will be provided support
to enhance their incomes.
Integrated Cholistan Development Programme at the cost of Rs.2,348 million will create a
visible impact and improvement in the living quality of people of Cholistan. The package includes
construction and rehabilitation of roads & water supply schemes and desiltation of Tobas in
Cholistan. Keeping these facts in view, the sector has been provided with an allocation of Rs.7,150
million during 2014-15.
The specific features of Regional Planning Sector are as under:
Removal of regional imbalances.
Multi-sectoral integrated development programmes.

Punjab Quaid-e-Azam Solar Power Company have been set up to expedite power generation in
the province.
Total generation capacity in the province of Punjab is only 9564 MW against its present
requirement of 14,000 MW which is increasing at the pace of 8% per annum. It is presumed that in
the year 2018 the demand of Punjab will be 20,570 MW and by the year 2025, this demand will
increase up to 35,254 MW.
During 2013-14, following meaningful advancements have been made;
Two of the Four Hydropower Stations designed to produce 20 MW electricity from

hydro under REDSIP program in 04 districts of Punjab are in final stages and
scheduled to be completed by April 2015
Feasibility Study was completed for two coal power projects 2x55 MW each for
Industrial Areas in Lahore & Faisalabad
Feasibility Study was completed to set up 2.5 MW of solar PV power plant at Islamia
University Bahawalpur to provide un-interrupted power supply & research base for
the university students.
Under CM Ujaala Program 78,000 Solar Home Solution units have been procured to
distribute among deserving school students
To promote research in renewables, a Center of Excellence for Research in such

Technologies (CERAD) has been set up at KSK Campus, UET Lahore.
During current year, 100 MW Solar Power Plant was started near Bahawalpur, under a
public sector company Punjab Quaid-e-Azam Solar Power Company. The plant is scheduled to
start power generation by December 2014. Work on enhancement of this generation capacity by
another 900 MW will begin during 2014-2015 through employment of innovative capital structuring
and private sector participation.
Under Coal based Power Initiatives the Provincial Government took another bold initiative
to engage private sector in power generation. Under the initiative it is expected to set up 6 x 1320
MW power plants at 06 sites in Punjab in next four years. Private investors showed great interest in
this initiative. This initiative will continue during 2014-15 whereby work on 2 x 55 MW coal based
power plants is planned to kick-off in Lahore and Faisalabad.
FY 2014-15 will witness a major thrust towards renewable energy sources and energy
efficiency and conservation initiatives. In this regard a number of projects based on Bio mass have
been identified. Efforts are being focused to attract private and foreign investment in this sector to
augment GoPbs development outlay and bring in management efficiencies. Work on various
Public Private Partnership models has already started which will gain momentum during FY 201415. In order to achieve these targets, an allocation of Rs.31 billion has been provided to Energy

During 2013-14, total development outlay for emergency 1122 sector was Rs.1.65 billion.
Establishment of Emergency Service Academy at Lahore is near completion during the current
financial year. Strengthening of emergency service in existing cities has been completed during
2013-14. Establishment of emergency service in Tehsils of Punjab (Phase-I) was also completed in
the year 2013-14. A development outlay of Rs.1.45 billion has been included in the ADP 2014-15.
One of the new initiative is the Managing Emergency in High-rise Buildings has been included with
a total allocation of Rs.400.00 million to address the emergency like fire in the high-rise buildings,
adequately. The total allocation for SPDP and District Development Package for the Sector is
Rs.310.00 million. This package will cater for the facility of emergency 1122 in the districts of South
Punjab as well as for Districts of Sheikhupura, Lahore and Gujranwala.
It is envisaged that these services will facilitate in mitigating the sufferings of general
public by reaching the vulnerable in the shortest possible time.
Environment Sector
During 2013-14, revised allocation of Rs.54 million was provided to this Sector. EPD
utilized Rs.47 million against the available funding of Rs.54 million. The major initiatives during FY
2013-14 included establishment of monitoring system in Punjab, which assisted EPD to estimate
and assess the environmental parameters in different districts. The EPD officers in the province
were strengthened by providing the missing facilities through which the competency of the EPD
offices has been enhanced in collection and analysis of Environmental data. The work on
establishment of Biodiversity Park at Murree continued and the scheme would be completed during
2014-15.
An amount of Rs.190 million has been allocated during FY 2014-15 for Environment
Sector for five new and five ongoing schemes. The scheme titled Establishment of Air Quality
Monitoring System in the Punjab aims at building the capacity of EPA to effectively monitor and
implement Provincial Environmental Quality Standards (PEQS). The provision of missing facilities
in EPA field offices is an important initiative of the Department for effective monitoring of polluters
and compliance of PEQS. The development of Biodiversity Park in collaboration with City/District
Governments will not only help in conserving the endangered species but would also create
awareness among the masses for conservation and protection of biodiversity. The Biodiversity
parks have been established at Bhawalpur, Kasur and DG Khan and Biodiversity park at Murree
will be completed during 2014-15. The formulation and implementation of regulatory framework is
one of the prime responsibilities of EPD. The Department is creating a legal cell to introduce and
promote management and legal discipline to effectively enforce the environmental regulations.
The department has envisaged commencement of a number of new interventions during
2014-15. The notable ones are to establish benchmarking of major environmental parameters in
the Punjab. This data will enable the scientists and policy makers to gauge the changes in
environmental resources like air, land and water. The industrial and municipal waste water are
being thrown untreated / unchecked in the water bodies like river, drains and canals of Punjab. In
White Paper

order to ascertain the feasible options for treatment of wastewater, a study will be undertaken
during this financial year to prioritize the most feasible treatment option for Hudiara drain. Similarly,
the evaluation of water quality and characterization of industrial effluents in the province will also
be conducted. The review, rationalization and revision of environmental laws, rules, regulations &
PEQS will be done during 2014-15.
Information & Culture

In the ADP 2013-14 Rs.106 Million were allocated which included Rs.55 Million for the
ongoing schemes and remaining Rs.51 Million for the new schemes. During 2013-14, only one
scheme titled Expansion of Punjab Auditorium has been completed with Rs.5 Million. In the ADP
2014-15, Rs.607 Million have been allocated to this sector. A scheme titled Citizen Engagement
and Public Perception Analysis for Improving Governance and Service Delivery in Punjab has
been started for conducting 20 public perception surveys to gauge public opinion about
governance and public service delivery. A report on the basis of these surveys would be submitted
to the policy makers. For improving the performance of Director General Public Relations (DGPR),
a scheme titled Up gradation and strengthening of Directorate General Public Relations, has
been included. This scheme would improve its functioning by monitoring, organizing, analyzing
media contents and using that information for timely response to media, better decision making
and analysis.
Archaeology

PENSION REFORMS AND DISBURSEMENT OF PENSION THROUGH USE OF

INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) BASED APPLICATIONS
5.1
Pension Scheme An Overview
In terms of population, Punjab is the largest province of the country. It has approximately
one million employees and 436,995 pensioners, the number whereof is growing continuously. As
per actuarial assessment undertaken in 2010, total pension liability estimated at 30th June 2010
was to the tune of Rs. 687.7 billion. Amount of pension paid to pensioners in FY2012-13 was
Rs. 65 billion and it is expected that this figure will touch Rs. 75 billion in FY2013-14.
Government has an elaborate and well defined pension benefit scheme regulated under
Section 18 of the Punjab Civil Servants Act 1974, and the Punjab Civil Service Pension Rules. The
scheme entitles the pension to the employees who have either reached the age of superannuation
(60 years) or have retired early after serving for 25 years. Pension Rules also prescribe ten years
as a minimum qualifying service for receipt of pensionery benefits. Gross Pension is determined on
the basis of last drawn pay multiplied with the number of years of service and factor 7/300. A
pensioner has the option of commuting upto 35% of his gross pension at the time of retirement. Net
pension is paid for the life time of the employee. After his death, his family is entitled to family
pension. The Government also increases pension periodically to mitigate the effects of inflation.
5.2
Need for Pension Reforms
In recent times, Pension Reforms have gained pace around the World. In conformity with
the global trend, Government of Punjab also initiated number of pension reforms in last few years.
To ascertain pension liabilities, an actuarial analysis was undertaken. Pursuant to this study and as
an important reform agenda of Government of Punjab under its program for public sector financial
management reforms, a dedicated corporate entity i.e. Punjab Pension Fund was established
through enactment by Punjab Provincial Assembly. An elaborate structure for the management of
Punjab Pension Fund was established with the induction of professional management. Moreover,
number of committees such as management committee, investment committee, accounts and audit
committee, HR committee etc. were also established to monitor and oversee the activities of the
Fund. These committees are not only represented by public sector but also have an adequate
representation of professionals from private sector. An elaborate oversight mechanism is also in
place to review and oversee the investment policy, funding strategy and other such arrangements
related to fund management. In line with the parameters laid down in the legal framework of Punjab
Pension Fund, Central Depositary Company (CDC) has been appointed as the trustee of the Fund.
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
74
While far reaching reforms were introduced not only to ascertain the pension liabilities but
to formulate medium and long term funding / investment strategy of the Fund, it was also felt that
there is a need to reform and improve the existing pension processing and disbursement system
focusing on facilitating existing and future pensioners. Accordingly, it has been found expedient to
conceive, develop and implement a reformed simplified pension processing and disbursement
system through the use of ICT based applications. It is hoped that in addition to ease of doing
business, reformed pension disbursement system will allow the pensioners to have access to more
convenient modes of receipt of pension. The system is intended to be piloted first in Lahore District
which has the maximum number of existing pensioners. After the successful implementation of the
pilot, the same will be up scaled and rolled out to other districts of Punjab Province.
5.3
Pension Payments Current Dispensation
Pension papers with the formal sanction of Pension Sanction Authority are submitted to
District Accounts Officer (DAO) / Accountant General Office (AG) for issuance of Pension Payment
Order (PPO). DDO / AG Office issues PPO after due verification of pension papers. Pension is
paid manually either by Treasury Officer or by National Bank. In the current system, after issuance
of the PPO there is disconnect between Accounting Office and Disbursing Authority. Pensioner or
his representative visits NBP / Treasury Office for disbursement of pension. Appearance of the
pensioner twice a year in the NBP / Treasury Office is mandatory as a proof of his / her life. Any
change in pension on account of annual revision is posted manually by NBP/ Treasury Office. The
current system for pension disbursement is cumbersome and lacks transparency.
5.4
Reformed Pension Disbursement System Credit into Bank Account
Assisting pensioners in receipt of pensions by providing an option of pension

disbursement through scheduled commercial banks in addition to existing mechanism of pension
disbursement only through National Bank / Treasury is an important part of reformed pension
disbursement system. Under this system, it has been envisaged that there would be front loading
of the pensionery benefits on the analogy of payroll through pension roll system in SAP R/3 system
of PIFRA. Pension would be credited directly into pensioners bank accounts which they can
withdraw through cheque, ATM/Debit Card, branchless banking network of schedule banks and
bank-led model of mobile companies. Biometric enrolment, verification and biometric authentication
of pensioners shall be undertaken by NADRA. Revision in pensionary emoluments announced by
the Government from time to time shall be made by respective Accounting Offices and credited into
pensioners accounts in banks. For effective functioning of this system, technological integration of
various offices/ entities involved in pension disbursement i.e. Accountant General / DAOs, PIFRA,
NADRA and banks have also been envisaged. Moreover, for pensioners establishment of a
facilitation centre has also been visualised in office of Accountant General Punjab not only for
submission and tracking of pensionery documents through one window operation but also for
recording and addressing the complaints relating to pension.

Financial inclusion Program through use of Information Communication

Technology (ICT)
The automated pension disbursement has the potential to be an important milestone in

the financial inclusion program being jointly pursued by the State Bank of Pakistan and the
Government of Punjab. By accessing modern banking services through this program, pensioners
will find withdrawal of pension much easier in comparison with the erstwhile manual, cumbersome
and non-transparent system. Greater number of pensioners to be brought in this system over a
period of time will encourage banks to offer better services to hitherto uncovered population.
5.6
Uniqueness and impact of Innovation
Cash withdrawal by pensioners through branchless banking outlets and bank-led model
of mobile companies is unique in a sense that it even saves them from visiting the bank. The
innovation will be of great convenience to pensioners. Further, biometric verification of pensioners
including proof of their life through NADRA will allow pensioners to get these particular recorded
without visiting to NBPs/Treasury Offices and waiting in queue for verification of their particulars
manually. The pensioners will also be encouraged to save as withdrawal of the money will take
place when it is actually needed by the pensioner. A host of banking disbursement modes e.g.
Cheque, Debit Card, ATMs, branchless banking outlets like UBL Omni and bank-led model of
mobile companies will facilitate pensioners as they can withdraw anytime from anywhere in
Pakistan. The automated pension disbursement will bring greater transparency and accuracy into
the whole system. It will also help in reducing leakages in the system.
5.7
Seamless transition from a serving civil servant to a pensioner
Reformed pension disbursement system besides offering new avenues of withdrawal of

pension also focused on seamless transition from a civil servant to a pensioner. The project has
been designed in a manner where in collaboration with AG/DAOs and Administrative Departments,
data of retiring civil servants for year 2012 and 2013 was retrieved from PIFRA system relating to
Lahore district. Data cleansing exercise aimed at verification of particulars of serving civil servants
recorded in the automated data on payroll was undertaken. Once this data was fully cleansed,
shifting/transition of pensioners was made possible in a seamless manner. Moreover, while issuing
the Pension Payment Order (PPO), retrieval and comparison of the corrected data of civil servants
by AG for allowing pensionery emoluments was far easier than the current system of manual
recording.
5.8
New Simplified Procedure of Processing and Disbursement of Pension

through Pension Roll
A major reform was introduced during the year in the form of New Simplified Procedure of
Processing and Disbursement of Pension through Pension Roll. Under this simplified procedure
notified on December 18, 2012 a pensioner has to give a one page descriptive roll containing a list
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
76
of his/her family members, an undertaking for making good any established recovery and option for
commutation percentage he/she wants to avail. The Department/Pension Sanctioning Authority
(PSA) in return issues a one page notification order of his/her retirement which is submitted to the
AG Office/District Account Officer along with a copy of his/her last pay slip, a copy of CNIC and
original service book. In case of a gazetted civil servant, a service profile is also submitted by the
pensioner. The AG Office/District Account Officer prepares Pension Payment Order (PPO) on the
basis of these documents and does not seek any other document from the pensioner. These
reforms were piloted in Lahore district and pensioners retiring in January 2013 were advised to
submit their pension papers under new procedure. The Chief Minister Punjab, in a simple but
impressive ceremony held on 1st January 2013 distributed PPOs to 20 civil servants retiring in
January 2013. On directives of the Chief Minister, the New Simplified Procedure of Processing
and Disbursement of Pension through Pension Roll were also introduced in districts of Chakwal,
Rahim Yar Khan and Multan. During FY2013-14 New Simplified Procedure of Processing and
Disbursement of Pension through Pension Roll are being implemented in eleven (11) more
districts of Punjab namely Attock, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Kasur, Sheikhupura,
Nankana sahib, Khanewal, Vehari and Bahawalnagar.
Another major reform titled Disbursement of Commutation and Monthly Pension through
Pension-Roll was notified by the Government on January 9, 2013. Irrespective of how a pension
case is processed i.e. through old pension papers or through new simplified procedures, the
pensioners in all districts of Punjab will henceforth be disbursed their commutation and monthly
pension through pension-roll only. This reform has the effect that new pensioners are only paid
pension directly into their bank account instead of pension payment through NBP under decades
old legacy system. As a consequence of this initiative by the Government the process of enrolment
into pension roll for direct credit of pension into bank account has picked up considerably in all
districts of Punjab. A report generated from SAP R/3 PIFRA system shows enrolment of 64,934
pensioners in pension roll at 31st May 2014 compared to 8,279 pensioners enrolled in pension roll
at 31st December 2012.

for
Reformed
Automated
Pension
In order to accomplish specific verification needs of particulars of pensioners, NADRA and

PIFRA envisage to chalk out an arrangement of technologically integration of set of data being
maintained by NADRA and accounting offices in automated SAP R/3 PIFRA system. This
technological integration will be of great importance as its success will open new avenues for
disbursement of other welfare payments by use of Information Technology tools to be employed
under this system.
Commercial banks, office of the Accountant General Punjab, District Account Offices will
be the key partners in reformed pension disbursement system. SAP R/3 system with its expected
updated and improved version shall serve as a backbone of automated pension disbursement
system. Commercial banks and telecommunication companies will partner in this initiative as the

government intends to broaden delivery modes of pension benefits through commercial banks and
telecoms.
Key steps involved in the reformed pension disbursement system shall inter-alia include
the following:
(i)
Creation of a dedicated project office, if warranted.
(ii)
Establishment of a Facilitation Centre at AG Punjab similar to one already

functional with Project to Improve Financial Reporting & Auditing (PIFRA),
Islamabad.
(iii)
Arrangements with NADRA for biometric identification and verification of

pensioners at the time of account opening and subsequent proof of life, and
availability of network of kiosks at banks and AG Office / DAOs.
(iv)
Capacity building of DAOs / Treasury Officers / AGs Office.
(v)
Retrieving of manual records of existing pensioners from NBP/Treasury Office

and putting them into SAP R/3 after correction of anomalies in recorded data if
any.
(vi)
Creating awareness of the new scheme through publicity of the scheme.
(vii)
Establishing reliable network connectivity and end-user computing stations at

DAOs/Treasury offices/AG office - only where necessary.
(viii)
Setting-up a proper data archival mechanism.
5.10
Planned Project Implementation and Up-scaling
Automated pension disbursement system is being piloted in Lahore district. Once all the
project parameters are in place and transition from manual to automated pension disbursement is
successfully achieved, the project will be up-scaled in other districts of the Province. Successful
implementation of automated pension disbursement system will encourage the Government to
implement automated disbursements in other departments. It is expected that transition from
manual to automated pension disbursement will be accomplished in significant number in Lahore
district in FY 2014-15.

DEBT AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

DEBT STOCK
Punjab Government has a small debt liability compared to size of the gross regional
product of the province. At end-June 2014, the provinces total debt was Rs.451.8 billion, or 3.52%
percent of GSDP1. This ratio appears even smaller relative to national GDP, i.e., 1.9 percent2.Of
Punjabs total debt, 6 per cent or Rs.26.1 billion (Annex-I) is domestic while 94 per cent or
Rs.425.6 billion (Annex-II) is foreign (Table 6.1). Asian Development Bank (ADB) with 46 percent
holding is the principal creditor of Punjab foreign debt. This is followed by the World Bank and
Government of Japan with 46 percent and 6 percent foreign debt holding respectively (Table 6.2).

Punjabs foreign debt portfolio is highly concessionary and of long term maturity. In 201314, average explicit interest rate on foreign debt stood at only 1.47 percent with average maturity
of15 years (Table 6.2). Most of the loans have embedded fixed interest rates; only 16 loans are on
LIBOR3 terms (variable interest rate). Foreign debt, in terms of currency composition, is heavily
denominated in US Dollars which accounts for more than two-thirds of foreign debt stock. During
2013-14, foreign debt stock increased by Rs.22.4 billion. Favorable exchange rate movements, of
US Dollar and Japanese Yen, resulted in transational gains4 in the foreign debt stock of Punjab

Rs.12,822.4 billion based on Punjab MTFF estimates.

3London Interbank Offered Rate
4 In Pakistan, external loans are contracted in various currencies but disbursements are effectively converted into Pak Rupee. As Pak
Rupee is not an internationally traded currency, other currencies are bought and sold via selling and buying of USD. Hence, the
currency exposure of foreign debt originates from two sources: USD/other foreign currencies and PKR/USD. This two pronged
exchange rate risk is called translational gain/loss. Rs/US$ and Rs/JPY end of period weighted average exchange rate during this
period (point to point) appreciated by almost 0.1 percent and 2.8 percent respectively, causing debt stock to decline by almost Rs.3

In 2013-14, program loans/non-project aid constituted half of Punjabs foreign debt

portfolio (or Rs.213 billion), the remaining half, of the same magnitude, came in the form of project
aid. The latter category appears to be focused on Irrigation (19 percent), agriculture (8 percent),
roads & infrastructure and housing & water supply (5 percent each), and education & training,
governance and social welfare (3 percent each) (Figure 6.1). Program (non-project) aid, on the
other hand, was primarily devoted to three sectors: education, governance, and poverty reduction.
In 2013-14, Punjabs domestic debt accounted for 6 percent of total debt or Rs.26.1
billion. The domestic debt portfolio of the province is composed mainly of cash development loans
(CDLs) with long-term maturities, lent by the federal government. These loans are now being
repaid for past several years, thus, stock of domestic debt is declining.
Punjabs total debt service in 2013-14 stood at Rs.47.0 billion (5.7 per cent of total
provincial revenues). Almost 44 percent of the servicing was on account of foreign debt, as it
constitutes 94 percent of the total provincial debt (Figure 6.2). Interest payments on total debt
which peaked at Rs.20.1 billion in 2009-10 have now come down to Rs.14.5 billion in 2013-14.
Similarly, interest payments relative to revenues have been declining.

PENSION AND GENERAL PROVIDENT FUND LIABILITIES
Government has a Defined-Benefit Pension Scheme for its permanent employees.

Traditionally the Pension Scheme was being managed on pay-as-you-go basis i.e. pension
payment during a year was made out of that years revenues regardless of point of accrual of a
particular liability. Considering the rising burden of pension payments, Government has, over the
last few years, been following a more systematic approach towards assessment, reporting and
funding of these liabilities.
In addition to the Pension Scheme, Government requires its permanent employees to
subscribe to the General Provident Fund which is a Defined Contribution Scheme. General
Provident Fund contributions are deducted from salaries of Government employees and credited to
GP Fund Account which is part of the Public Account of the Province. Government has a fiduciary
responsibility for these contributions. However, to avert the possibility of using Public Account
balances as a borrowing window for Government expenditures, there was a need to create a
separate GP Fund. Further, there was also a need to replenish the amounts earlier utilized from
GP Fund Account due to the fact that the Government maintained a common cash balance for both
Provincial Consolidated Fund and Public Account.
Following major steps have been taken by the Government for improving the
management of its contingent liabilities:
Actuarial Assessment of Pension and General Provident Fund liability of Government

is being made on a regular basis;
Funding strategies for meeting the Pension and General Provident Fund liabilities
have been adopted and are regularly reviewed and updated; and
Punjab Pension Fund and Punjab General Provident Investment Fund have been
created to invest the funds (set aside by the Government for meeting, at least
partially, its future Pension and General Provident Fund liabilities) in accordance with
the investment policies approved by the Management Committee of the Funds.
During the FY2013-14, Punjab Government contributed Rs. 4.8 billion in Pension Fund
and Rs. 3.347 billion in GP Fund for capitalization of these Funds. For FY2014-15, Punjab
Government has allocated an amount of Rs.10 billion for capitalization of Pension Fund and
Rs.4.960 billion for GP Fund. Increased contribution in Pension and GP Funds will make up for
fewer contributions in earlier years.

General Provident Fund Liability
The amount of GP Fund payment of a Government employee is the accumulated

contribution deducted from his/her salary during service plus interest announced by the
Government on such contributions on annual basis. As per the Actuarial Assessment carried in
2010, the accrued GP Fund liability of in service employees is expected to be Rs.141.5 billion at
June 30, 2014.
Increase in GP Fund payments over 30 years time scale is illustrated in Annex-IV.

Funding Strategy
Funding strategy 2010-40 aims at:

(i)
Building up reasonable pension assets during the next 5-10 years with a view not only to
discharge a part of pension expense as an off-budget item but also to cater for any
expected or unexpected spikes in pension expenditures through the earnings of the
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
85
Punjab Pension Fund. This in turn will create fiscal space to meet partial pension pay out,
if needed. The funding would be made available from provincial resources.
(ii)
The Government would transfer equivalent amount from the Provincial Consolidated Fund
to the annual employees GP Fund contributions every year and in addition would amortize
past arrears of GP Fund annually from the Provincial Consolidated Fund for the next 30
years.
During the initial years, contributions were relatively limited, owing to the continuing
economic downturn which had a direct correlation with the tax collection efforts. Now it is expected
that greater resources will be spared for funding Pension and GP Fund liabilities as the economic
situation has stabilised. The table below illustrates the funding strategy for the next 5 years:

From 2015-16, in case of pensions, the funded amount will be a percentage of the estimated basic salary, which is the basis
of determining, pension payments. Each year from 2015-16, 5% of the basic pay budgeted for the provincial employees will
be contributed to the Punjab Pension Fund.
Punjab Pension Fund plans to carry out actuarial valuation of Pension and GP Fund
liabilities at June 30, 2014. Funding strategy may have to be reviewed as a result of new estimates
of contingent liabilities.

In order to lock-in high yields for a long period of time, the Fund has invested a large
proportion of its assets in long-term fixed-rate instruments consisting mainly of PIBs. At
the end of May-14, around 71.8% of total portfolio is invested in PIBs.
During FY13, the year-on-year (y-o-y) CPI Inflation rate had declined sharply, and the
SBP reduced the policy rate by 3.0% cumulatively (from 12% to 9%). With the start of
FY14, the newly elected government announced considerable upward adjustments in
electricity, gas and petroleum prices; as a result the y-o-y CPI inflation had started to
accelerate since May 2013 and peaked at 10.90% at the end of November 2013. In
response, to combat rising inflation, SBP also increased its discount rate by 100 basis
points to 10.00%. After touching double digit inflation in Nov 2013, y-o-y CPI softened and
stood at 8.34% in May 2014. We expect that inflation for the full year FY14 will
comfortably remain in single digit. We dont expect any further change in discount rate by
State Bank of Pakistan during remaining part of FY14.
The investment strategy followed over the past few years i.e. investment in long-term
fixed-rate instruments at attractive yields, is now paying off. Despite lower inflation and
discount rates, PPF continues to earn an attractive real rate of return over y-o-y CPI
because of its high yielding portfolio of PIBs

GROWTH IN ASSETS vs. LIABILITIES AND FUNDING RATIO
As per the last Actuarial Assessment Report, the present value of pension liabilities of the
Government of the Punjab stood at Rs. 687.7 billion as on June 30, 2010.
Market value of Funds asset at May 31, 2014 stood at Rs. 24.5 billion.
If PPF were envisaged as a fully funded pension plan, the value of its assets would match the
value of the total pension liability of the Government of the Punjab, and the funding ratio (the
ratio of its assets to its liabilities) would equal one (or 100%). This would mean that for the
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
88
accrued pension liabilities, the Government of the Punjab would not have to earmark any
budgetary resources because these would be met by PPF from the return on its assets.
Currently the Government of the Punjab does not have an explicit target for the Funding Ratio.
The desired Funding Ratio can be inferred from the projected injections of funds in PPF by the
government as stated in the Medium Term Budgetary Framework 2009-12 announced by
Government of the Punjab. If the injections of funds were to stay on course and there were no
withdrawals then at the current average rate of return on PPF funds, the projected funding
ratio in the foreseeable future is expected to stay in the range of 1.75%-2.25%.
When interest rates go down the rate of return on assets also go down and the pension plan
needs a larger amount of assets to pay the pension liabilities promised to the employees. Thus
a decline in interest rates can lower the Funding Ratio of a pension plan further.
In order to properly manage a pension plan, two things are important.

o
Firstly, the Funding Ratio of the pension plan should be high so that sufficient assets vis-vis the liabilities are available. A Funding Ratio of 100% is ideal.
Secondly, the Fund should preferably make long-term fixed-rate investments whose
maturity is as close as possible to the maturity of pension liabilities. With fixed-rate
investments the rate of return on the assets of the Fund will be less vulnerable to the
fluctuations in the market rate of interest.
6.2.6
Currently, the Funding Ratio of the pension plan is around 2% which means that the
current level of assets is sufficient to meet 2% of accrued pension liabilities of the
Government of the Punjab. This Funding Ratio is clearly quite low and the
government may consider increasing this ratio which would require a long-term and
sustainable plan of gradual injection of funds into the pension plan.
Considering the importance of long-term fixed-rate investments, PPF has invested

71.8% of its assets in long-term fixed-rate bonds at May 31, 2014 and remains ready
to invest further up to the maximum allowable exposure limit of 75% of fund size in
long term fixed rate bonds.

Chapter 7
PUNJAB REVENUE AUTHORITY
PRA is completing its second financial year. PRA started collection of sales tax only on
such services as were earlier covered under the Punjab Sales Tax Ordinance, 2000. These
included hotels, clubs, caterers, advertisements on T.V & radio (including cable TV), customs
agents, ship chandlers, stevedores, telecommunication, insurance and re-insurance, banking
companies, non-banking financial institutions, stock brokers, shipping agents and courier services.
In October, 2012, three more services were brought under Punjab sales tax net. These were
franchise services, restaurant services, advertisements on hoarding boards, pole signs and sign
boards. In May, 2013, the Punjab sales tax coverage was compared with Sindh sales tax regime
and fourteen more services were added to Punjab sales tax. These included motels, guest houses,
marriage halls and lawns, security alarm systems, international incoming calls, construction
services, property development and promotion, contractual execution of work or furnishing of
supplies, foreign exchange dealers including exchange companies and money changers,
beauty/slimming parlors/clinics, management consultancy including fund and asset management,
port services, terminal operators including public bonded warehouses and international freight
forwarders. In July, 2013, more new services were added such as software or IT-based system
development consultancy, technical, scientific & engineering consultancy, tour operators,
manpower recruitment agency, security agency, mining & exploration services, advertising agents,
share transfer agents, business support services, property dealers, fashion designers, architects,
town planners & interior decorators, rent-a-car, car/automobile dealers and toll manufacturing
services (industrial vending).
Application of Reduced Tax Rate
Standard Punjab sales tax rate is 16%. Telecom services are chargeable to tax @
19.5%. The services of property development/promotion and freight forwarders are chargeable to
fixed rates of tax. PRA is generally not inclined to import unnecessary reduced rate schemes into
Punjab sales tax on services system. So far only stand-alone caterers have been given reduced
rate scheme of 5% (without input tax adjustment). Similar scheme for non-corporate marriage halls
is also under finalization. These two time bound special reduced rate schemes for stand-alone
caterers and non-corporate marriage halls have been proposed/adopted as a tax bait to attract
historically delinquent regimes towards tax compliance in incremental mode. VAT does not
discourage such innovative techniques to allure the obstinate segments from the business
community towards tax compliance in progressive manner. Such special limited schemes
eventually increase taxpayers confidence in the fairness of the tax system.
White Paper
Budget 2014-15

Registry
When PRA started its operations, its initial registry consisted of only 615 registrations,
details of which were primarily transferred from FBRs system (through PRAL). Currently, there are
3762 regular registrations besides 848 compulsory registrations (total 4610). Compulsory
registrations are gradually shifting towards regular regime. In addition to these, PRA has, by using
multiple source data and field surveys, identified nearly 9750 service sector businesses, about
which PRA thinks that majority of them is prima facie liable to be registered with PRA and pay
Punjab sales tax. Particulars of all these cases have been sent to the duly empowered field officers
of civil administration (up to tehsil level) with the request to follow them for registration/ compliance
after necessary impartial verifications, if needed, about the character and size of their businesses.
Ever since its establishment, neither PRA nor any taxpayer has faced any problem in
registration for the purpose of Punjab sales tax on services. The businesses already having NTN
number (for income tax purposes) are enrolled on the basis of same-day-principle. The
businesses without NTN route their requests for NTN issuance to FBR through PRA, which is done
by FBR system maximally within 72 hours and PRAs subsequent enrolment is issued instantly
without any further loss of time. No fee is charged for enrolment or registration or for any
amendment in registration particulars and returns/statements etc. PRAs registration base is
increasing on daily basis.
Revenue Achievements
As against Punjabs share of Rs.22 billion for the year of 2011-12, PRA collected over
Rs.37 billion during 2012-13. For the year 2013-14, a target was worked out at Rs.52.2 billion
which was optimistically uplifted to Rs.62.2 billion considering that PRA would be able to bridge the
carried-over compliance gaps. However, during the first eleven months PRA has collected Rs.39.4
billion. The gap between targets and receipts is easily explainable. For the first eleven months, the
proportionate target comes to Rs.39.87 billion, against which Rs.39.4 billion have been collected.
Short fall is only of 1.19% which is likely to be made up by the end of June, 2014. The following
table shows the month-wise revenue receipts followed by graphics of monthly revenue growth

Two Distinct Revenue Streams

PRA has two main revenue streams, i.e. one is telecom and the other is non-telecom.
During 2012-13, ratio between telecom and non-telecom tax receipts was 75:25. Due to sectoral
saturation and sudden changes in income tax withholding rates by FBR, revenue from telecom
services has stagnated rather slightly declined (reportedly in all tax jurisdictions) and is likely to
remain so in foreseeable future. This year, tax receipts from non-telecom regimes have increased
by 91.7%, while growth in original seventeen services is 57.6%. The total aggregated growth is
19.3% despite 35% increase in aggregate input tax adjustment. PRA is hopeful that this year,
telecom-to-non-telecom tax ratio will touch somewhere around 60:40 and thereafter, it will reach at
50:50 (may be 45:55) in the next year (2014-15), where after it will be 25:75 maximally by the end
of 2016-17. PRA believes that this goal is not impossible provided under-invested position of PRA
is prudently transformed into properly-invested tax organization as the post-modern economics
opines that on the successful path of development, nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, only
wise and visionary transformation is engineered. The major two streams of taxable services had
the following tax receipts:

Overall
Despite exponential increase in non-telecom revenue receipts, PRA is fully cognizant of

the fact that there are still widespread enforcement gaps in the implementation of Punjab sales tax
in non-telecom services. In this regard, PRA is continuously making multi-dimensional efforts such
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
93
as effectively contesting litigations in courts, forcefully conducting exception management, pursuing

the civil administration to accelerate their efforts to extract compliance from localized taxable
businesses, actively coordinating with different trade bodies/associations to ensure optimum
compliance from their members and responsively settling tax disputes and above all increasing its
registry through identification of new taxable businesses using third party data. Audit efforts have
also been commenced on limited scale.
Services-wise Revenue Growth
Services-wise growth trends indicate that revenue from franchise services has increased
more than four times. Restaurant services and withholding agents have also shown phenomenal
increase. Increase from customs agents, banks, insurance and courier services is also reasonably
good. Increase from other miscellaneous services is nearly two and half fold. PRAs overall thrust
is to maximize collections from non-telecom tax base. Service-wise comparative tax receipts are
tabulated below:

Figure 7.5
The experience so far gained shows that most of the compliance problems are coming
from regimes which have either remained untaxed in the past or have traditionally defied tax
compliance.
Expenditure Budget Scenario
During 2013-14, PRA obtained budget allocation of Rs.200 million. During the first 10
months, it spent only Rs.110 million. It is expected that by the end of the year, the total expenditure
will be nearly Rs.167 million. Out of this, the major spending has gone to the payment of service
charges to PRAL, fixed liabilities of rentals and outsourced services and acquisition of
durable/capital goods. The salary component was only Rs.31 million. The balance of Rs.33 million
(which also included economy cut) is being surrendered to the government. PRA believes that
collection cost of sales tax on services in the province of Punjab is the lowest as compared to
comparable tax organizations in the country.
Inter tax issues
PRA is already proactive and is in consultation with FBR and other sub-national VAT
organizations for earlier resolution of the issues of mutual concern/interest. Like Sindh, Punjab too
agreed to sign MOU with FBR for reciprocal input tax adjustment with an inbuilt mechanism for
periodical settlements of claims on the basis of a principle that winner will compensate the loser.
MOU has been signed on 13-03-2014. FBR has also issued the required notification.
Taxpayers education
PRA has conducted over 40 big seminars/workshops in collaboration with civil
administration, trade bodies/associations, tax bar associations etc. wherein the invitees from the
concerned sectors were fully enlightened about the system of Punjab sales tax. The second
regular round of seminars will be undertaken by PRA after the forthcoming budget. Besides, PRA
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
95
has been using electronic and print media for the advertisements on Punjab sales tax (publicity is a
continuous feature). Number of FAQs on PRAs website is gradually increasing. These FAQs carry
tremendous importance for the guidance of taxpayers. Most of the taxpayers correspondence with
PRA is online. PRA replies emails within 24 hours. So far 5406 emails have been received and all
stand replied. PRAs average email response time is 11.61 hours (less than 12 hours).PRA website
has recorded 249,784 visits, 89,889 unique visits and 504,203 page views. These figures show a
significant interaction of taxpayers/businesses/public with PRAs website.
IT Developments
Modern tax management cannot be imagined without proper IT-support. Use of
information technology not only enhances the neutrality of tax management besides upgrading its
efficiency and service level but also exponentially economizes upon collection and compliance
costs. PRA is currently availing paid IT services of PRAL for the purpose of collection of Punjab
sales tax. PRA is actively working for avenues for additional ultra-advance IT-based solutions for
compliance issues especially in regimes where underreporting is not an unusual feature of tax
declarations. Restaurant Invoice Monitoring System (RIMS) has been designed by PRA where
under through real time modem-based connectivity, the invoice data of restaurants will be captured
by PRA into its system and propriety of monthly declarations of restaurants will be checked by the
system on the basis of online-retrieved invoice data. The scheme also envisages reward for the
diners/food eaters (customers) so that people themselves persuade and force the restaurants to
issue tax invoices. The rewards shall be given through automated random balloting. In case the
proposed scheme succeeds (which is definitely expected to) other vulnerable business regimes
involving walk-in-customers or spot clientele will also be subjected to similar system-based watch.
Revenue Vision
Based upon R&D work conducted and the experience gained during 2013-14, PRA has
developed a precise and comprehensive 7-points budget vision for the year 2014-15. These points
cover abridgment of experientially identified operational gaps, rationalization of description,
codification, nomenclature and classification of taxable services, inclusion of new services,
indigenization of IT capacity/operations, formal launching of (non-intrusive) audit operations and
systematic HR development and resource mobilization. With the materialization of these points,
PRA is expecting to bring a further robust revenue growth in the year 2014-15 especially in
services other their telecom.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCE
Under the Punjab Local Government Ordinance 2001 a Provincial Finance
Commission Award was envisaged as basis of allocation for Local Governments. The PFC Award
established an inter-se share of various tiers of Local Governments through a system of
percentage shares based on a matrix of population performance-need continuum. The share of
Districts/City Districts and TMAs has accordingly been prescribed under four generic categories of
tied, general purpose, development and equalization grants. In addition TMAs receive Urban
Immovable Property Tax proceeds and City District Governments receive additional resources to
perform municipal functions. Funds are provided to Unions on fixed share basis. Cantonment
Boards receive share in lieu of Octroi on the basis of their respective populations. The allocations
for local governments have been growing since the promulgation of the Punjab Specification and
Distribution of Provincial Resources Order, 2006. As such District Governments, TMAs and
Councils received the following share:

Under the PFC Award, 2006 there has been progressive increase in the allocations for
Local Governments. Beginning from financial year 2010-11 the allocations for District Government
has increased from Rs. 131.653 billion to Rs. 214.800 billion in financial year 2013-14. The
allocation for TMAs has increased from Rs. 13.8 billion in financial year 2010-11 to Rs.17.000
billion in financial year 2013-14. Similarly, the allocation for Union Administrations has increased
from Rs. 5.019 billion to Rs.6.000 billion in 2013-14 and the Cantonment Boards have been
receiving a steady annual allocation of Rs.1.2 billion for the past four financial years.

In the fiscal year 2013-14, Local Government Finance experienced a special dispensation
whereby Local Governments as they received greater Provincial Government allocations for better
governance through special grants and packages in addition to the formula based fiscal transfers
under the Provincial Finance Commission Award. These extra-PFC allocations included grants for
Solid Waste Management, Bail-out packages for District Governments and TMAs, Grants for
PHAs, Grants for Schools and Primary Health Care, District Development Packages, Development
Grants for Large Cities, etc. A more vivid picture of transfers to Local Governments transpires
when PFC and extra-PFC grants are seen in conjunction.

The above figure reflects that Local Governments receive grants under the Provincial

grants from the Provincial Allocable amounts under Provincial Finance Commission Award.
However, District Governments have been able to generate only Rs.37,196,567 million in
the preceding financial year as their own revenues which averages at 0.021% percent of their
overall resources. Similarly, TMAs generated a total of Rs.97,839.434 million whereas under the
PFC share alone the TMAs received Rs.11,955.669 million. Thus, Local Governments remain
clearly dependent on provincial allocations. This is despite the provision of an elaborate taxation
regime in the second schedule of the Punjab Local Governments Ordinance, 2001. Local
Governments have been able to generate the following amounts as their own source revenue:-

Chapter 9 Public Financial Management Reform
101
Chapter 9
PUBLIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REFORM
Public Financial Management (PFM) is a process by which governments translate public
resources into public services. It is a critical tool for Government to achieve policy objectives and
development goals, as defined by the policymakers. Built around the principles of transparency and
accountability, it helps build bridges between the state and citizens.
PFM reforms are at the vanguard of provincial reform agenda with focus on aggregate
fiscal discipline, resource allocation based on agreed priorities and efficient use of available
resources for delivery of high quality public services and accountability. These are invariably very
complex and long term and, by very nature, a political exercise. They require proper prioritization,
sequencing and, above all, ownership of the stakeholders.
The provincial government rolled out several reforms over the past several years in the
province, with varying degrees of success. The following is an account of on-going as well as
contemplated reform initiatives:
PFM Reforms at Provincial Level:
The Finance Department has been spearheading PFM Reforms in the province and has
developed a roadmap, which broadly gives a policy direction to the reforms. With technical support
from international development partners, the provincial government is implementing reforms. Sub
National Governance Programme (SNG) United Kingdoms Department for International
Development (DFID) funded programme is supporting the provincial government in implementing
PFM reforms.
(i)
PFM Reform Strategy
Finance Department, with the assistance of SNG, is developing a comprehensive PFM

Reform Strategy to properly strategize and prioritize various PFM reform initiatives. While building
around the lessons and experiences from around the world and Punjab, the PFM Reform Strategy
revolves around the following primary principles:
Shift to a more medium term approach, with its emphasis on linking policy, planning
and budgeting, from the traditional annual focus;
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
102
Shift to a top-down approach, driven not only by resource availability but also by the
priorities of government, from a bottom-up approach to budgeting;
Shift towards performance based budgeting, linking inputs to outputs and outcomes,
and away from input based budgeting.
The proposed PFM Reform Strategy aims to improve transparency of budgetary process,
strengthen Medium Term Budget Framework (MTBF) process, improve accountability and
credibility of the budget as well as need for political engagement for ownership of the PFM reforms.
PFM Reform Strategy is built around anchoring the Medium Term Budgetary Framework
(MTBF) in the provincial government. MTBF is key to linking policy, planning and budgeting by
providing multi-year perspective and creating linkages among outcomes, output and costs. In line
with this approach, Government of the Punjab is committed to strengthen MTBF, including Medium
Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF), Budget Strategy Paper and Sector Planning.
(ii)
Budget transparency and accessibility
Availability of and access to complete fiscal and budgetary information is central to PFM
reform. It is a stylized fact that budget transparency and accountability can accrue several
dividends in terms of priorities based allocation; increased responsiveness to peoples needs and
reduced rent seeking. In order to benefit from this approach, a Budget Transparency Review (BTR)
is in the pipeline mainly to improve budget transparency and accountability. The purpose of this
study is to (i) conduct a baseline assessment of current levels of budget transparency and
accessibility based on international good practice, (ii) identify areas of potential reform which if
implemented would improve budget transparency and accessibility, (iii) build the capacity of the FD
to assess and strengthen budget transparency and (iv) provide a basis for FD to respond to the
requirements of Right to Information (RTI) legislation.
(iii)
Citizen Budget for Punjab
Protection, preservation and promotion of the interests and aspirations of its masses lend
basis to the existence and legitimacy of the Governments. Governments therefore, stand
answerable to their citizens for what they do and how they do it. Therefore, public policies and
plans should be responsive to and reflective of the needs and priorities of their people.
Implementation efforts of Governments and their outcomes should also be known to the citizens.
On the other side, citizens have a responsibility to hold their governments accountable.
Citizens engagement can be enhanced by creating preconditions that enable people to
contribute in an effective way. One most crucial precondition is that all citizens have easy and ready
access to government information. Technical documents should be made available to the
stakeholders in easy and understandable layout. Needless to underscore budget documents are
highly technical and not user friendly. Complex concepts and terminology are mostly unfamiliar to
White Paper
Budget 2014-15
103
many. Therefore, presentation of budget information in an easy and understandable format seems
imperative to ensure engagement of citizens. While providing the budget information to the
common man, a Citizens Budget provides the government as opportunity to communicate its
perspective and rationale behind various budgetary choices and decisions. For the first time ever,
Government of Punjab is producing a Citizens Budget 2014-15 that would present the budgetary
information to the citizens in a way and layout that is easy to understand.
(iv)
Creating Fiscal Space
Given that ours is a resource constrained economy, there is always a need for reforming
the revenue side of the provincial finances to create fiscal space to fund better public services. SNG
is trying to assist in creating fiscal space by expenditure savings or generating additional revenue.
In this regard, areas of technical assistance such as tax surveys for broadening of tax bases,
automation of tax bases etc. would be identified to help generate more revenue for the province. On
the other hand initiatives would be implemented to get savings in expenditure. An example of such
initiatives is Pay Roll Audit of Education Sector. While main objective of the payroll audit remains to
provide reasonable assurance that effective controls are in place to ascertain the integrity of
transactions, some sizable fiscal space may also be created as a result of payroll audit. The
exercise is in the pipeline to conduct payroll audit in the education department to identify gaps and
accumulate some savings for the government. The resultant savings might be utilized on much
needed public services.
(v)
Designing of Provincial Finance Commission (PFC) Award:
Evidence suggests that decentralization of authority and responsibility for service delivery
improves quality and delivery of public services. The creation of the local governments in 2001,
especially the district governments, therefore required predictable, transparent and credible
mechanism for intergovernmental transfers to provide adequate revenues for local services. The
new local government system also provides for PFC mechanism to ensure uninterrupted financing
of devolved service delivery functions through a system of formula based transfers. A study has
been commissioned to assess the effectiveness of PFC transfers in Punjab. The study mainly
appraises the adequacy, predictability and equalization effects of the PFC transfers. Another key
feature of the analysis of the PFC mechanism also assesses the sustainability of local government
expenditures, financed largely through transfers mandated under the PFC. Based on the
recommendations of the study; PFC Award is being redesigned to fund the local governments to
better respond to the needs of their people.
PFM Reforms at District Level:
A few reforms are also being planned at the district level to improve primary and
secondary service delivery in education and health sector. These include:
(i)
White Paper
District Needs Assessment for Needs Based Budgeting:

Budget 2014-15
104
Our district governments are mandated to manage and monitor the provision of basic
services. However, very unfortunately they lack the capacity and the evidence to properly plan and
manage budgets for the service delivery. Budgets at the district level are mainly result of
incremental allocations over the previous year. Hardly any analysis goes into the allocation of
funds. This leads to poor planning and budgeting for the services. In order to assess the needs of
the people and find gaps in planning, budgeting and delivery of services, comprehensive needs
assessment exercises in health and education sector are in the pipeline. The recommendations of
the assessments will help district governments to prepare their budgets based on evidence of the
peoples needs. Needs Assessments in education and health sectors are designed to address
specific service delivery objectives and investigate both generic issues such as flow of funds and
lack of citizen engagement, and the needs of the different groups including women, girls, minorities
and people with disabilities.
(ii)
Expenditure Tracking at Service Delivery Level:
Efficiency, effectiveness and equity in the use of public resources are primary
preconditions for delivery of quality public service. However, poor mechanisms for tracking and
monitoring allocation and utilization of funds lead to poor public services. Besides unpredictability of
funds allocation and transfers results in poor delivery of public services at the local level.
Resultantly our service delivery units such as Basic Health Units (BHU) and Schools cannot deliver
quality public services. Provincial Government is in the process of streamlining the transfer of funds
from province to the districts and to the actual service delivery units such as BHU. Given that most
of our service delivery units have no Drawing and Dispersing Officer (DDO), tracking of
expenditures becomes impossible beyond DDO level. Therefore, an expenditure tracking exercise
is being carried out to assess funds flow mechanisms and timeliness of transfers of funds to service
delivery unit.
Evidence shows that availability of resources at the service provider level is not sufficient
to produce desired results. Capacity to efficiently utilize the available funds also plays a critical role
to this effect. How efficiently the available funds are utilized is the focus of EQSDS (Expenditure
and Quantity of Service Delivery Survey). A comprehensive EQSDS is also being conducted with
the help of World Bank. The EQSDS will help improve efficiency of public spending for better public
service.

GENERAL PROVIDENT FUND

The Punjab Government is not a contributor to General Provident Fund. Employee is the sole
contributor to this benefit. The contributions are deducted by the Government from employees
salaries using subscription rates depending on the pay scales of employees. The GP Fund notional
accounts thus created are credited with interest income based on interested rates announced by
the Government on an annual basis. The account balances are paid to employees at the time of
cessation of their service.
As per IPSAS25:
o
definitions given in paragraph 10 of the Standard, Employee Benefits are all forms of
consideration given by an entity in exchange for service rendered by employees;
introduction note IN1 of the Standard, benefits that are not consideration in exchange for
service rendered by employees or past employees of reporting entities are not within the
scope of this Standard; and
paragraph 28 of the Standard, for a post retirement benefit plan to be classified as a

defined contribution plan, the entity must pay fixed contributions into a separate entity.
Keeping in view the above paragraphs and the nature of the GP Fund benefit, it is interpreted that
reporting of this scheme does not fall under this Standard. However, if disclosures are prepared as
per IPSAS25, they would be as follows:
GP Fund Liability Disclosures under IPSAS 25
Statement of Financial Position (under Paragraph 65. of IPSAS 25)
Present Value of Defined Benefit Obligation

Plus Estimated outstanding GP Fund payments during the
